Hello ladies and gents. I am trying to find the best ICS rom for the HTC sensation when it comes to the battery life. I understand the roms on here are works in progress, I would just like to find a good rom that isn't too hard on the battery life. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's one for you mannn, I installed this on my brother's sensation and it's battery life lasts really long, longer then most gingerbread ROMS. It's also stable and what not.

well, the rom that I used and I personally find the best was virtous inquisition, this rom was all the way 1.5 ghz, and i still got almost 2 days of battery life with medium usage ( lots of texting, few phone calls, a little bit of angry birds) hope I helped!

Thanks, I've tried both Seamless blitz and 10.1. When I use them for about medium use, the battery life drops nearly 10 percent withing the hour.

Thanks, I've downloaded this ROM, just haven't put it on my phone yet, so I will give it a try. I used Virtous ROMs on my mytouch 4g, and they were great.

I am wondering what kind of battery life people are getting with the Gingerbread leak and subsequent Gingebread ROMs compared to their froyo companions. For example, people who have switched from Das Bamf froyo to Das Bamf gingerbread, etc...
I am running Das Bamg 1.6.3 and leankernel 2.5 with extreme custom undervoltage and I am getting absolutely fantastic battery life, and I'm not sure about making the switch to GB because of it. Will GB improve battery life even further? Thanks guys.
IMO froyo kernels are further in development and will probably get better life but I love the sense 3.0 like gb roms so I'm sticking with em

Personally my battery has been horrible, pretty much back to how it was when I first got this phone, although I'm on 4g most of the day and overclocked to 1.4 so I really can't complain. I've seen a lot of people saying they haven't noticed any difference in battery life though. Its definitely worth loading, working netflix, lock screen is awesome. I'm sure the devs are working non-stop, thanks guys!

GB battery life is definitely lower for me, by a decent amount. Still sticking with it though.

My battery life has suffered since moving to GB. I've considered going back to BAMF Remix 1.6.3, but I had random reboots and shutdowns with that rom. There are always drawbacks, you just have to decide what is and isn't important.
I actually disabled push email on my work account. I set it to manual. I'm at a time of the year where I don't need push email. That has helped the battery, but it's still not as good as Froyo.
So my decision came between barely getting through a day on a single charge or having my phone crap out on me a couple of times a day? I decided to stick with the poor battery life.
I'm on battsaver mode with lean kernel for GB...imo is still tweaking the kernel with battery drain and charging issues...not as good as froyo yet but good enough for my daily ROM
I stuck with using perfect storm 1.4 with imosyen extreme that has by far given me the best battery life. Most days I am over 10 hours with normal use. On gingeritis I was getting around 7. Still not bad but the functionality on Perfect Storm 1.4 is far better than on das bamf or gingeritis.

Is that on 3g or 4g?
I was on GB for 5 days. i could def tell a loss in battery life on it. But it wasnt enough to make me change back. i was loving GB. I am now going back because of the radio scare.

I am on 4g most the time... also read the thread about gb brickiing phones....for sure stay with froyo
My battery life was definitely not what it was on froyo BAMF 1.6.3.. I've since flashed back from 2.0, because of the bootlooping/brick shenanigans.. I miss my Sense 3.0 elements, but I really don't wanna go through the hassle of going to VZW for a replacement phone lol
Which one tends to be better? Usually for HTC phones I find the aosp roms to trump the sense roms, but on my old Samsung Vibrant the aosp roms ALL had horrendous battery life!
Please lemme know your personal findings!
Thanks
BTW All posts will be thanked

I tried kj3 and cm7 #116 with siyah kernel on both and battery was the identical, cm7 felt smoother though. But some guys are able to squeeze 2 days of battery use while i can only do 1 day, so it also depends what apps you have running and how much you use the phone.

The same battery life? Interesting. In that case I'll probably choose Samsung roms for all the extra features and codec compatibilities.
Please! More opinions and thoughts!

Yup identical, i remember seeing people posting these great 2day battery life shots and they were all on samsung roms so i decided to give it a try. After i loaded the samsung rom and all of my apps/widgets from my cm7 rom the battery life was identical at the end of the day. I do miss that codec compatibility but mx video player takes care of that with ease.

As long as my display has consumed 70-75% at the end of my day (when my battery went from 100% to 20%) I don't bother looking at ways to eliminate the "drain" that some users have. Most, if not all, of the drain is installed on the outside of the screen.
Sure, when I put it in airplane modus inside a vault it lasts more than 5 days. Yay I must be a super tweaker.
i get about 17 hours with about 5.30 hours of display on samsung based ROM but then again it all depends on what you use your cell for
Thanks for all the input keep em coming!

Any screen on times for aosp? Thx!
As the thread title states, I'm looking for a ROM with good battery life, I'm currently using CleanROM ICSE 3.7, and it's has okay battery life, but I think it could be better. Any suggestions?
Nils' Business ICS 3.4 has amazing battery life.
I'd start there. I try pretty much any ROM that looks interesting, but I find I always come back to Nils. His last 2 updates have focused on improved battery life, and they really do bring it.

what kind of results you get? usually massively debloated like CR dev edit does it for me....less system apps sucking on cpu
use the "thanks" if I helped you at all
In my (very) limited experience, the kernel has far more affect on battery life than the ROM. Been using CleanRom 4.3 with the stock kernel, battery life is quite good compared to my GNex which I ditched after 5 days
RezROM 3.3 and the newest CleanROM Developer Edition have done the best for me, also check out the Kang Tapped Edition of CleanROM DE, same thing basically with some tweaks, it's my daily driver currently.
Cleanrom DE (nonsense) has been on my Rezound for a day, and its yielding pretty decent results. Got about 7 to 8 hours of moderate use yesterday (I work at Target Mobile - use it for work/messing around with it). I text back and forth consistently, as well as taking multiple calls - one yesterday up to an hour long. I left work with a 17%, when I walked in with 89%. LTE on, auto-brightness. I also am using ROM Toolbox to change clock speeds, I have profiles for multiple scenarios - that helps battery life as well. The only thing I had off was autosync, I'll open up FB or Gmail to update. Oh and I played music in the car both to and from work (20 minutes each way - regular music player).
I obviously want a little more time with it, but from when I had cleanrom (with sense) it seemed cut in half (sense is pretty and all, but she just eats your battery - with flashy graphics and auto updating everything).
bamf 2.1 ics gr8 battery...16 hrs
moderate use
awesome rom

Is it just me or does battery life on CM9 for Note suck?
I know it's an unofficial port and all, but I seem to get significantly poorer battery life on the AOSP/CM9 roms vs the rooted/debloated stock ones.
On the OnlyOne rom, I got ****ing insane battery life. Like 36+ hours with normal/heavy use. On all of the AOSP/CM9 variants (Flapjaxx/h0twir3) I'm at 50% after 5-6 hours of light use.
Am I the only one? Am I doing something wrong? On every other device I've owned (Nexus One, Nexus S, Captivate, Streak, Sensation, Fascinate...) AOSP has gotten significantly BETTER battery life. There are no obvious rogue apps that I can find, and I'm running exactly the same apps on both roms, still, CM9 variants inexplicably get poor battery life on this phone.
The only thing I've noticed is that Android System is using way more battery on CM9 vs stock roms.
Am I nuts?

Maybe I'll try that one. I'm basically just trying to see if anyone else has the issue before I go looking elsewhere to solve it.

So I was getting very poor battery life on my Galaxy S II running Cyanogenmod 9 stable. As shown on the screenshot, my battery lasted only about 7 hours it requires a charge. I wasn't running a live wallpaper nor I was running any intense app. I tried to calibrate my battery but there was no improvements. May I know what's wrong? I didn't had some poor battery life while I was on previous roms such as checkrom and even the stock rom. Any helps appreciated. Thank you!
